Callpod Chargepod

This space saving multi-charger device can charge up to six devices from one plug socket. It's a lot tidier than having lots of different chargers cluttering up what's likely to be a small living space. There are over 3,000 devices that are compatible, including iPhone 4, iPad 2, all iPods, the Nintendo 3DS, Creative Zen Vision mp3 players, a wide range of Samsung phones and many more. The Chargepod is still a great gadget, although slightly showing its age now, with a new generation now being made that provide contact charging without cables, for example the Powermat.

£54.99 for the chargepod and six adaptors from eCrater.co.uk
